1 Timothy 3:1-7English Standard Version (ESV)

Qualifications for Overseers

3 The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he
desires a noble task. 2 Therefore an overseer[a] must be above reproach, the
husband of one wife,[b] sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable,
able to teach, 3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a
lover of money. 4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity
keeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to
manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? 6 He must not
be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into
the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by
outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.
